I don't fully understand this. I read one definition and I am still puzzled. What are a few of the more common reasons a horse would be put on a Steward's List? I see where a horse was scratched from a race (STL) but of course it does not go into detail. Why wouldn't the horse just not be put on the entries when it was put in the box and then it would not have to be scratched, Just declines entry and instead of having one less horse in the race (Scratched) some other horse would have had a chance to be entered and race that day with a full card.?
